An Artist in the Making

"Light on my hand... very interesting."

"I think I shouldn't have bitten the tip off."
"I'll try to put it back on."
Love this little guy :)

Finally moved in...

Now that we're finally a little more settled and only have a handful of boxes left to go through, we decided it was time to get out of the house and do something fun. We live close to the Ft. Worth Zoo, so we went to check it out with Henry and Jefferson. It. Was. AWESOME! Henry loved the animals, and especially loved riding the train. :)

Below are some pictures of Henry playing in his first heavy rainstorm! He LOVED it!



Our most recent and significant purchase! I have never appreciated two machines more (other than the ones we drive).
Henry playing dress-up in Daddy's hat and glasses--a new favorite game. :)
Here is our happy little Jefferson :) He is getting bigger everyday!
Cousin Maddox came over to visit the other night and even though it was passed Henry's bedtime, we decided he couldn't pass up the opportunity to spend time with family. We brought him downstairs to watch a movie with Maddox.
We're loving Texas so far and can't wait until all the boxes are gone! Thanks for all the help and support we've received!

Everything's bigger in Burleson...

Whew!...What a few weeks we've had. The drive was long, but we're finally here in Texas and somewhat settled. From Utah, we stopped in Denver and then in Amarillo. We were on the road for Father's Day so while we were in Amarillo we were going to stop at one of 3 restaurants featured on Man Vs Food... but they were all closed (good for them!). We were a little disappointed with not being able to eat the food we'd been reminiscing about all day, but were justly rewarded a few days later when we met up with family at the Stockyards in Ft. Worth for some BBQ. Henry ate everything he could get his hands on (even the lemon out of his water glass). He was lovin' those ribs!

And the beat goes on...

Things have been busy here in the Zenk household. I've been kept on my toes chasing after my beautifully active Henry while trying to satisfy Jefferson's need to be held (a new experience since Henry never was a snuggler). Bobby has been very busy with a myriad of things--namely, full-time school plus work during the week, and after all that, he's been making weekly trips to Texas to work weekends in order to get a jump start on things. So, the past couple of months have been hectic, but they have been great for us as we've anticipated our move and have been getting in last minute visits with friends and family. Here are a few pictures from the past month of Bobby and the boys (somehow I wind up always taking the pictures and rarely make my way into them--I'll work on that!). Enjoy!

I came outside and saw these two sitting together on the swing having some father/son time. I sure love these two!
This is Henry's new favorite spot--the dog's water bowl. He loves standing in it, stirring it (with anything/everything), dumping it out and splashing in it, and even (heaven forbid...) pretending he's a dog (yes... on hands and knees) and drinking from it.
This is our growing Jefferson! Now that his vision has improved, he really looks things over and studies them--it's cute to watch him see things and people for the first time. He is such a good, sweet little baby!
This is Henry and his cousin Jasper. They had fun playing together a couple of weeks ago when Jasper came to visit.
And last but not least, this is what a typical morning at our house looks like before Bobby leaves for the day. I am so incredibly lucky and blessed to be married to a man who adores his children as much as they adore him. He is a wonderful husband and father and we love and appreciate him so much. I love you Bobby!
